I only have this to say about episode 15 of Oh My Ghostess: OMO.
She remembers. Soon Ae remembers everything now. What she doesn't understand is why – why did Sung Jae have to kill her? It's simply because she saw everything, and knew everything that he did wrong. He only wanted to get rid of her, so why couldn't she do him the favor of ascending to heaven?
Soon Ae's unafraid – all of his crimes are going to be revealed soon, especially since she's now given Bong Sun the heads up. Sung Jae lunges for her, but she manages to run off. Luckily for her she's a ghost, so she can't be grasped by him and can jump into a passing bus to get away.
Let's go back to three years ago…
Sung Jae was working as a cop then, and he was manning one of the checkpoints to ensure that no one was driving drunk. He encounters his step-father at the checkpoint, and the two greet each other frostily. Dad isn't pleased to see Sung Jae, especially since he's hated the kid ever since Sung Jae was about to kill baby brother Myung Joon in the crib. It appears that Sung Jae left the house not too long after that, and grew up in an orphanage during his teen years. Dad reiterates that he never wants to see Sung Jae again, and to make sure they never cross paths, before driving off. (Mind you, Dad doesn't take a sobriety test either!) That same evening Soon Ae realizes that Sung Jae's working the night shift (she must have memorized her crush's schedule by heart) so she decides to prepare his favorite meal.
As soon as he can get out of guarding the checkpoint, Sung Jae follows his family home. He hides in the building's shadows, and watches his mother, step-father, and younger brother enter the building. They're so happy together, totally having forgotten that Sung Jae even existed. Dad steps out again to throw out the trash, and Sung Jae stalks him, ready to strike with a stick. But he stops. Sung Jae stops when Dad talks aloud to himself about buying ice cream for Myung Joon. He is so angry about having been abandoned, but at the same time he can't bring himself to hurt this man.
This is the real Sung Jae.
He drives off, crying, and not really paying attention to the road. That's when he accidentally hits Eun Hee, and Sung Jae hurries out of his car, aghast. Shock prevents him from acting right away, but it also gives ample time for the evil spirit – who's presumably been hanging around him since his teenage years – to enter his body. Suddenly Sung Jae's demeanor changes, and he's now the evil Sung Jae we know. He gets back into the car, starts it, and drives over Eun Hee's legs.
I only suspected that he drove over them before, but I couldn't really believe that he really did it.
As he drives away, Soon Ae rounds the corner and spots Eun Hee on the ground. She sees the license plate, and then calls up 911 on the payphone. After the ambulance arrives, she hurries back to her dad's restaurant and writes in her diary the numbers she remembers from the plate; she only remembered 2368. Soon Ae knows she has to report it, but turns to Sung Jae for help since she knows him so well.
Sung Jae arrives at her restaurant and she immediately reports that she saw a hit-and-run, and the license plate numbers. He stiffens, and that's when she notices his car parked outside – with the very same license plate numbers. Um. Yeah.
Soon Ae comes up with a lie about picking up her father and runs out of the store. He quickly makes chase, and she loses him temporarily by hiding in an alleyway. She fumbles for her phone, dropping it and attracting his attention. He quietly stalks her like a predator, and then gives her no choice but to go home with him.
Tied up in his car, she tries to call her father again, but there's no response. She types out the license plate number on the keypad, but the car suddenly stops. They're "home." Next thing we know, Sung Jae is nonchalantly dunking Soon Ae into the bathtub full of water, drowning her. He holds her head down as if it's nothing more than a mop, checking to see that she's sufficiently underwater each time. Finally, she stops struggling, and he leaves her lifeless body on the floor of his bathroom while he goes to take a shower.
The last step is to throw her body over a bridge, leaving it to be found by the police early the next day where Kyung Mo and Myung Ho wail desperately in grief.
Back in the present, Soon Ae sobs as she slowly walks the streets of Seoul to Suhbingo's house. She now knows why she couldn't ascend to heaven: she had died so suddenly and so tragically that she had a deeper grudge than wanting to lose her virginity. It was to resolve her death. Suhbingo is initially startled by her sudden appearance at her home, but embraces Soon Ae with open arms until the poor ghost is finally calm again. She warns Soon Ae to be careful, as Sung Jae is definitely on the lookout for her.
And lookout he is, as Sung Jae prowls the neighborhood for any hint of Soon Ae. He bumps into Myung Ho, who's just gone to buy some pork hocks for snacks. Sung Jae is the face of gentlemanly charm when he offers to carry the bags, surprised that Myung Ho bought more than could be eaten by two people. "Oh we have a guest with us," Myung Ho says brightly. "A guest?" Sung Jae is now intrigued, as he's got an idea on who it may be.
Back at Myung Ho's restaurant, Bong Sun's just called up Sun Woo to let him know that she's heard news. Sun Woo offers to head over since it's dangerous at night, and he figures it'll be safer than her walking to his place. Myung Ho arrives just then with all the food – thankfully not followed by Sung Jae.
It shouldn't take long for Sun Woo to walk over to Myung Ho's, so Bong Sun wanders outside the restaurant to check if he's on his way. Big mistake, because now she's left herself out in the open for Sung Jae to abduct her. By the time Sun Woo arrives, all he's got left of her is her sneaker. He immediately calls up the police station to check if Sung Jae is there – but he's not, and it confirms Sun Woo's suspicion that Sung Jae took Bong Sun.
Suhbingo prays to the gods to grant her enough strength and power to dispel the evil spirit in Sung Jae, but she's interrupted by Sun Woo's insistent knocking. He's got bad news: Bong Sun and his brother-in-law are gone. Suhbingo updates him about Sung Jae's misdeeds while being possessed by an evil spirit, so they'll need to take action now and find them.
Sun Woo first heads home, where he finds his sister and mother worrying over Sung Jae. Eun Hee had worriedly called Sung Jae repeatedly to no avail, and Hae Young had tried to reassure her daughter that Sung Jae's just taking some needed "man time" for himself. But the worries got worse when Eun Hee had her mother take down the luggage behind the box; Eun Hee had seen Sung Jae quietly slip Soon Ae's diary in there one night, but didn't know what it was all about. Sun Woo arrives just as Eun Hee discovers Officer Han's wallet and Soon Ae's cellphone, and has no idea what to make of it. He immediately reassures them that he saw Sung Jae, and that he got held up with a criminal complaint out in a rural area and had to go check it out. He then zips up the luggage, pretending that they're just evidence that Sung Jae needed to investigate cases on his own. It's a plausible excuse for now.
The police try to track down Sung Jae and Bong Sun, per Sun Woo's tip, and arrive at an abandoned apartment building, in the basement where Sung Jae presumably prepares for and conducts his evil misdeeds. But only Sung Jae's phone is found, as he misled them on purpose while he takes a taxi far away, out of Seoul, with a lot of luggage in the trunk.
Yep – Bong Sun's all tied up in the trunk.
We take a small break away from all this to go back to Sun Restaurant, where the kitchen crew is keeping the restaurant running while the boss and his sister are away dealing with "stuff." Min Soo takes the opportunity to pretend he's the king of the house while entertaining a high school sunbae and his girlfriend. The sunbae is impressed with how much Min Soo has grown from being the loser kid in school to actually in charge of a kitchen. To show off his power, he summons Dong Chul to get the best bottle of champagne and serve it to his sunbae.
Lo and behold – the sunbae recognizes Dong Chul as his sunbae! The legendary Dong Chul who "cleaned" up their high school with his "disciplinary squad!" Hah! Min Soo can't believe it, since he thought all this time that Dong Chul was younger than him (and Dong Chul did pretend to be just so he could get a job at the restaurant). But the sunbae forces Min Soo to do a 90º bow of respect to Dong Chul. How humiliating for him! But how refreshing as well, because now Min Soo actively avoids Dong Chul and doesn't abuse the others in front of him. Heh. Hehehe. Hehehehehehehehe.
Sun Woo and Soon Ae try to get more information from Suhbingo regarding Bong Sun's location. The shaman goes into a trance and concentrates: Bong Sun is in the vicinity of Seoul, but she hears a lot of children in the background. Those are the only clues they have, and it turns out Suhbingo (for all her decreased powers) is right. Sung Jae is hanging out at Haneul Orphanage, where he once attended and is a benefactor of. He plays with the kids while the headmistress of the orphanage gives him a small shed to stay in temporarily; it's the least she could do when he's donated his old car as well for their use.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Sung Jae has hidden Bong Sun away behind some curtains in the corner of his room. He reassures her that he won't hurt her – yet. Bong Sun sheds a tear and then notices another ghost in the room. It's a little boy who presumably died in a fire in that very shed a few years ago. Sung Jae looks over at the kid, who recognizes the evil spirit and dashes out of the room.
Bong Sun struggles against her bindings, knowing she needs to find a way out of here before Sun Woo gets too worried about her. She tries to identify her location, but all she can sense is the smell of rosemary in the room. Good catch on her part, as the orphanage is located right next to an herb farm.
Meanwhile Sun Woo begs detectives to do more in looking for Bong Sun and Sung Jae, but they make the excuse that they have too many cases to work on (while complaining about lunch). He and Soon Ae take matters into their own hands, with Sun Woo going to every school nearby and Soon Ae asking her other ghostly friends to look for Bong Sun in areas with children. And Suhbingo once again asks the gods to bless her with stronger powers to fight against the evil spirit.
The ghost who likes to eat a lot and is now Soon Ae's friend, wanders around the outskirts of Seoul, frustrated that she doesn't have much details to go on in looking for Bong Sun. She ends up outside Haneul Orphanage, and bumps into Sung Jae. It startles her to realize that Sung Jae can see her, and she quickly runs away as he slowly advances, somewhat curiously. When she bumps into Soon Ae, Hungry Ghost complains about how it's the "trend" for everyone to be able to see ghosts these days, including the "tall man with a really strong qi" she saw outside an orphanage. That rings a bell for Soon Ae…
Sung Jae gets some ice cream for Bong Sun so that she won't pass out in the heat. She tries to convince him to turn himself in for Eun Hee's sake, but he's not interested in hearing her talk. Thankfully the headmistress requests his help for moving some furniture, and he reapplies the duct tape over her mouth and leaves her alone. Bong Sun mentally communicates to the little boy ghost in the room, because I guess ghosts can read minds, and begs him to help kick her cell phone over to her.
The little boy isn't very good at being able to touch physical objects, but a few good kicks and he manages to send the phone over to her. She tries to call up Sun Woo first, which is ridiculous because her mouth is taped up. Sun Woo receives her call while in the restaurant, and urges her to text out where she is if she can't speak. Bong Sun manages to only type out "rosemary" before she hears Sung Jae returning, and slides the phone across the floor to where it used to be.
Sun Woo contemplates on what "rosemary" could mean. Is she near a place where she can smell rosemary? He asks Joon where they usually get their stores of rosemary, and then notices a small rosemary plant on Eun Hee's desk. The kitchen crew had heard that Eun Hee bought it while visiting an orphanage with Sung Jae, where a farm was nearby. Sun Woo realizes that she's at Haneul Orphanage, since he saw the envelope from that place while searching Sung Jae's room before and knew that's where Sung Jae grew up, and spreads the word to Suhbingo and the police.
Meanwhile, Sung Jae takes the car out to a nearby pay phone to call up his wife, who's waiting for him at home anxiously. He reassures her that he just needed to take time off to think, but Eun Hee thinks there's more to it than that. She wants him to tell her the truth, even if he's caught up in something bad. She adds that she'll always be by his side, as she knows he's a good person. For a moment there, Sung Jae looks quite guilty, as if he feels some remorse for having such a good wife like her, and he hangs up on her before she can say anything further.
The police and Sun Woo arrive at the orphanage at the same time, with all of the officers dispersing to check the orphanage's main building and surrounding areas. Sung Jae arrives right behind them, and as soon as he sees the cops he makes a sharp turn towards his shed and quickly retrieves Bong Sun. Sun Woo wanders down that road and sees Sung Jae's car speeding off to the main road, and he quickly pursues in his SUV. Suhbingo and Soon Ae manage to catch them as they arrive in the taxi, and urge their driver to follow them.
Desperate to lose their tail, Sung Jae engages in a dangerous game of weaving through traffic to gain a lead. He's so busy avoiding Sun Woo that he doesn't notice Bong Sun in the backseat untying the laces around her ankles. She then grabs a sharp knife that she finds in his tool bag and stabs him in the leg the moment he looks away to a side mirror.
His car swerves to the other lane, where cars are driving in the opposite direction, and it eventually stops in the middle of the yellow lines. Bong Sun quickly opens the back door and runs off; realizing that he's lost his quarry, Sung Jae cuts loose by himself. Sun Woo quickly brakes right by Bong Sun and carries her away from the middle of the road to safety. He removes the duct tape and unties the rope around her wrists, hugging her tightly as she sobs into his chest.
The taxi screeches to a halt next to them, and Soon Ae is relieved to see that Bong Sun is alive and safe now. But Sung Jae and the evil spirit are now gone, so Suhbingo takes Sun Woo's car and drives off, speeding like a maniac after Sung Jae. Soon Ae joins her, but regrets being in the same car with her, because at Suhbingo's rate, they'll crash and die! Suhbingo: "If anyone dies, it'll be me. You won't die again." Hah! True that!
By the time they see Sung Jae's car, the day has grown dark. Luckily for them Sung Jae's left a trail of blood from the car, so they follow the trail through a rural village.
Sun Woo manages to bring Bong Sun home without his car, and he makes some porridge for her to eat. However, she's already passed out in his bed, moving a little fretfully from the nightmares. He lies down next to her, and pats her arm to soothe her. It's so sad and yet comforting to see these two reunited once again.
Suhbingo and Soon Ae – the new dynamic duo – lose the trail of blood but find themselves standing before a series of abandoned two-story buildings. There's a sense of chill emanating from that place, which indicates to Suhbingo that they're at the right place. However it's very dark and they have nothing but a flashlight from the phone to guide them. It's hilarious that Suhbingo is deathly afraid of scary movies, and yet she deals with ghosts on a daily basis.
Back at home, Eun Hee wakes up with a fright when her wedding picture frame falls from the table and the glass cracks. Foreshadowing much?
Suhbingo and Soon Ae climb up the stairs to the roof, and out of nowhere Sung Jae comes running towards them, ready to push Suhbingo off the ledge. Thanks to Soon Ae's quick thinking, she pushes Suhbingo out of the way, forcing Sung Jae to stop short of the edge. He's ready to attack again, but Suhbingo throws some charmed beans at him that splatters juice across his chest. He falls back to the ground, and the evil spirit is expelled. It's a nasty looking thing – not unlike Gollum but seemingly hairier. Suhbingo uses her stick to ward him away, and the evil spirit looks back at Sung Jae, who looks downright scared.
Memories of happier days with Eun Hee float to mind, and even earlier days when he and Soon Ae were on happier terms. This is the real Sung Jae, and he fearfully inches away. However the evil spirit jumps upon him and possess the body again. This time though, Sung Jae and the spirit are battling for control for the body, with Sung Jae struggling to get upright.
Sung Jae finally stands up, and his eyes are pleading and full of remorse, because he knows what he's done – whether unintentional or not. He runs to the edge of the roof, and then looks at Soon Ae and Suhbingo one last time. And slowly steps backwards. And then, closing his eyes, allows himself to fall over the edge.
And that, is the end of Sung Jae.
Some Thoughts
So. Sung Jae really did die. I did not expect him to kill himself in this manner though, because I more or less imagined him falling over the bridge in the same river Soon Ae died (as a sort of poetic justice), trying to live but unable to keep his grasp on the person trying to save him (perhaps Sun Woo). Sung Jae ended up being a really complicated and confusing character in these last few episodes because you never get the full story about him; you get bits and pieces and hints at what may have been happening to him. The power of suggestion is very powerful in this drama and oft-used, so his possession is only suggested at and never really confirmed.
We know the rules that surround Soon Ae and Bong Sun's possession, but it's still unclear what the evil spirits can do. It seems that the evil spirit possessed him since he was a teenager, but must have been in and out of the body all the way to adulthood. After all, it's quite clear that when he's unable to kill his stepfather and hits Eun Hee accidentally, he's not possessed. The evil spirit only takes over when trying to get him out of the car accident, and is responsible for killing Soon Ae.
(Speaking of the stepfather, I just want to sidebar that I really am confused about Sung Jae's story. It's implied in a previous episode that he's the mother's son from another marriage and was replaced by his baby brother, but then the step-father implies that Sung Jae was an adoptee. Either way, it doesn't matter who his parents were because he had deep-rooted issues of neglect and abandonment, but it does underline just how confusing the writing on Sung Jae's backstory ended up being.)
Now we're not sure if evil spirits work the same way as spirits like Soon Ae, who possess Bong Sun so completely that Bong Sun does not remember anything that happened while possessed. Suhbingo had mentioned that as an evil spirit possesses a body for long periods of time it is more difficult to tell the difference between the two. But it makes me wonder if Sung Jae really is aware of all his crimes. After all, the real Sung Jae had flashbacks of happier memories – memories that I doubt the evil version could have made because he was so testy. So it implies that we really have been encountering the real Sung Jae every so often (during any happy scene) and that the ghost really did leave his body sometimes. But those flashbacks could also have been a plot device for us as the audience to feel some remorse for Sung Jae; he's done evil but we should remember the happier moments just so the gut punch of his death will hurt harder.
I really have to give a lot of credit to Im Joo Hwan and Kim Seul Gi's acting once again. Im Joo Hwan is so creepy when he stares blankly in his evil state. His scariest scene was when he killed Soon Ae in the calmest manner ever. It's disturbing to see him act out as a sociopath, and then switch into a a more sympathetic character who feels guilt and remorse for what he's done. Equally impressive is Kim Seul Gi's acting – my favorite scene of hers in this episode is when she visits Suhbingo after remembering everything, and her voice barely comes out in a whisper. It just feels so real and that much more heartbreaking.
It makes the day to the last episode even sadder and harder to bear.

This is a rush transcript from "The Five," August 3, 2015. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
DANA PERINO, CO-HOST: Hello, everyone. I'm Dana Perino along with Kimberly Guilfoyle, Juan Williams, Eric Bolling, and Jesse Watters. It's 5 o'clock in New York City and this is "The Five."
Hillary Clinton doesn't have a lot of competition right now in her bid for the democratic nomination, so it's -- that gonna change. Listen.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, ABC'S GOOD MORNING SHOW HOST: Is there any chance you can challenge her?
JOE BIDEN, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Yes, there's a chance, but I've made up my mind about that. I don't think you have to make up your mind until the summer. That's a family personal decision that I'm going to make sometime at the end of the summer.
PERINO: It's now August and the speculation about Joe Biden entering the race is picking up some scene.
BILL HEMMER, AMERICA'S NEWSROOM SHOW HOST: You said he's thinking about it, right?
JOSH EARNEST, WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY: He said that he's thinking about it more importantly. He would.
HEMMER: No, and with the president.
EARNEST: he would know.
HEMMER: Would the president like to see that? Would he support that?
EARNEST: Well, the president ultimately wants democratic voters to decide who they believe the nominee should be. And the president certainly believes that a spirited contest would be in the best interest of our party and the best interest of our country. And -- but ultimately, our country and our party are going to be best served by candidates deciding for themselves if they have their fire in the belly to decide to run for president.
PERINO: And what does the Clinton camp think about the possibility of a Biden run?
JENNIFER PALMIERI, COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR, HILLARY FOR AMERICA: I have a great deal of love for Vice President Biden, a lot of respect ever, so do the Clintons, everyone on the campaign, and we're going to let him make his decision and otherwise stay out of it.
PERINO: And the -- we don't want to really talk about it. Kimberly.
KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, CO-HOST: Yes.
PERINO: You love this story. I think you're into it.
GUILFOYLE: I am into it. I've been hearing a lot about this from many different reliable sources. I think he would be a fantastic candidate. I would love to see him get in the race because I don't think it should be a layup for Hillary Clinton. I don't think we should elect someone just because they are woman. Who has the best qualifications? Who believes they can best serve the country? I want to listen to everybody, and I want to hear what Joe Biden has to say and he's obviously, served his country well. I mean, not saying I'm going to go for you, Joe, but I mean I don't think he should retire and do the midnight swim. I think he should jump in.
PERINO: So this story broke on.
GUILFOYLE: Make it sense.
PERINO: I think well, and the story has been building, but it kind of really build up some scene when Maureen Dowd, the comments of the New York Times with a piece Eric, on Sunday for that paper. A great column, well written and she had a couple of sources in there that means about -- wait, who was the source of this because it looks like it was quite a coordinated release of information.
ERIC BOLLING, CO-HOST: You think it was Hillary releasing? Is that what you alluding to or in -- right?
PERINO: I have - you know Chuck Todd thinks about of it. You see I don't think Hillary's team is organized enough to have pulled that off.
BOLLING: So one thing we can agree on is that the democrats are kind of influx right now? They are all over the map. Hillary has to relaunch, her relaunch of her relaunch of her relaunch with some attack as I guess, we gonna talk about a little bit. Joe Biden might run. President Obama apparently, would be OK with the Joe Biden run. And then today, we heard the CEO of Starbucks, Howard Schultz is being asked to run as well. So they're kind all over the board right now.
GUILFOYLE: Who's floated that, a barista?
BOLLING: I'm not sure who floated.
GUILFOYLE: Oh come on.
BOLLING: But I will tell you what would be the most fun six months of your life would be Joe Biden versus Donald Trump, and see how those two go at it. I would -- that would an active poll.
PERINO: I actually might buy tickets for that.
BOLLING: Exactly.
PERINO: Juan, one of the reasons that some voters on the democratic side I think, like this idea is that Hillary Clinton is not lighting the world on fire. She's been running for office for many years. It's almost like she's the incumbent. And whether it's true or not, she does come across as cold and authentic, whereas Joe Biden does come off as warm and very genuine. Do you think that this idea of him running is being pushed more from the grass roots or from somebody in the Biden camp?
JUAN WILLIAMS, CO-HOST: I mean pushed by republicans. I think republicans have a fantasy here. Oh, we could somehow take down and tighten that is Hillary Clinton.
PERINO: But the republicans don't pitch things to Maureen Dowd.
WILLIAMS: Oh no, never, never. They know republican.
PERINO: To Maureen Dowd?
WILLIAMS: Oh, never, never.
GUILFOYLE: I guess Valerie Jarrett.
WILLIAMS: Let me just tell you something. I think.
PERINO: For flame (ph).
GUILFOYLE: Yeah.
WILLIAMS: That the numbers still indicate that Hillary is, I think more than 50 percent of democrats would choose her as their nominee for the Democratic Party. There is no republican, I think Donald Trump is what like 20 something, you know, so I mean, that gives you an idea. But the thing about the Joe Biden moment is that Joe Biden is so loved by democrats, and especially now, after the death of his son and the key to the Dowd column was that the son had asked the father to get back into it, to do it. But you know, I'm with David Axelrod, who was President Obama's top political guy and Axelrod says he's skeptical.
PERINO: Can I show that?
WILLIAMS: Sure.
PERINO: You know that's nice setup for me. Here you go, David Axelrod.
DAVID AXELROD, FORMER SENIOR ADVISOR TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: There is the other side of the equation, which is what it takes to put a presidential campaign together against a very formidable opponent. And I think that is a real big reality check here. So I'm a little skeptical about the bombshell of the weekend.
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE, TODAY SHOW CO-ANCHOR: So would you advise him to run?
AXELROD: I would not because I know what it takes to put a presidential campaign together and it is late in the game. I hate to see him risk it all on a campaign that likely wouldn't succeed.
PERINO: You know that might make his team want to do it more, Jesse.
JESSE WATTERS, GUEST CO-HOST: Right. I mean, I don't really trust the word at Axelrod's mouth right now. He just wants some good chaos.
GUILFOYLE: How about ever?
WATTERS: Right. I mean, come on.
PERINO: Not from this one.
GUILFOYLE: Oh.
WILLIAMS: You guys are really.
WATTERS: Be honest. The truth is Joe Biden is a punch line, OK? And the fact that Hillary Clinton is terrified of Joe Biden shows how weak her candidacy is. When Biden heard the democrats were trying to draft him, he was like, oh, I'm going to Vietnam? I mean, this guy is a joke, OK?
GUILFOYLE: Oh, come on.
WATTERS: He's not taken seriously.
WILLIAMS: Are you -- Jesse, are you.
WATTERS: What was this portfolio at the White House?
WILLIAMS: Jesse.
WATTERS: No. Let's look at this portfolio.
WILLIAMS: I'll tell you.
WATTERS: He was against the bin Laden raid. He was in charge of the stimulus.
WILLIAMS: No, Jesse. Jesse.
WATTERS: And he dropped the F-bomb on national television.
WILLIAMS: Jesse.
WATTERS: Actually, I think he's sexist for trying to run because.
WILLIAMS: Jesse.
WATTERS: I mean this is Hillary's coronation. Why would you let the woman had her shot, right Juan?
GUILFOYLE: Why? It seems to me that you might think that he would be tougher to beat than Hillary, and you want Hillary as a nominee. So republican can win.
WATTERS: I would --
GUILFOYLE: I hope that's why you're doing this.
WATTERS: I love Hillary as the nominee.
GUILFOYLE: That's why. See.
WATTERS: And you know what, Hillary and Biden have a lot in common. I mean, it let a lot to see and Hillary takes the private jet. He takes Amtrak, right? I mean she gets a $600 haircut. He's got hair plugs. I mean that there are some similarities there. I would just like to see them debate each other. And you know that would have to have a debate like at 5:00 p.m. because primetime is way past both of their bedtimes.
PERINO: Can I give a different act -- in different perspective.
WATTERS: Yeah.
PERINO: I would say, Eric. Arguably, Vice President Biden is in a better position to take over from Hillary, in terms of experience and capabilities and the fact that he actually is well liked on the Hill. He can actually get some things done.
BOLLING: I think.
WILLIAMS: Did you mean take over from Obama?
BOLLING: No.
GUILFOYLE: You meant take over from Obama.
PERINO: From Obama. Sorry, you think.
BOLLING: Yeah, yeah.
GUILFOYLE: Yes.
BOLLING: Continue the third term.
PERINO: Yes.
BOLLING: The interesting thing is how bad of an idea Joe Biden running from president was six months ago and how great it seems right now.
WATTERS: Yeah. Check it out.
BOLLING: And especially -- everyone has a different opinion of Joe Biden right now because he wasn't seeking. He wasn't going after Hillary Clinton. He wasn't after -- he wasn't going to be the one who was gonna go after the first potential female president in America. But now that she's faltering and her numbers are sliding -- and Juan, by the way, 50 percent approval when you only have yourself in the race and a socialist ain't that big of a deal when you talk about the other side, 22 percent with 16 people running, it's quite a big difference, right? Do the math. It's.
WILLIAMS: Yeah, I mean you saying something. Anyway that you get plus 50, you're doing good, that's more than a half.
BOLLING: And you're the only one running? Oh, yeah.
WILLIAMS: She's not the only one running. But I'm telling you, you look and be -- don't forget her. There's a money contest going on and she is doing.
BOLLING: No doubt. And that is the important part, by the way.
WILLIAMS: So, I mean she's doing very well.
BOLLING: We're going to get to some of the new Hillary attack ads that she's gonna come out, yes, no? Anyway, she decided to spend $2 million because her campaign is faltering.
WILLIAMS: No, no, no.
BOLLING: Because she.
WILLIAMS: They have.
BOLLING: Juan, her approval.
BOLLING: She's under water in trustworthiness. She's under water in approval.
PERINO: We have.
BOLLING: She's underwater across the board.
WILLIAMS: You know.
BOLLING: And she's got to make to turn this thing around a little bit. She doesn't have an opponent yet and she's gonna take some.
PERINO: Well, she had -- she's raised so much money, and she's got a pretty high burn (ph), right, but she wants to spend a little bit.
WILLIAMS: You got it.
PERINO: We don't have actual sound from that, but these are some the bureau (ph). Kimberly, I want to ask you about this because what Ed Henry was saying is that.
GUILFOYLE: Yeah.
PERINO: It's hard to overstate. This is a move to start locking down on support. Campaigns will not admit they're nervous. But since Joe Biden is already come out, they feel like its entering a new phase. My surprise is that she actually having to still introduce herself. As Eric said, she launched her campaign and she relaunched it, then she relaunched. And now we still have to learn who she is.
GUILFOYLE: Well, I mean, we know who she is, but in terms of just more an in-depth identification of what she stands for, where -- because she still came.
PERINO: Where she came from?
GUILFOYLE: Absolutely. What her background is, her upbringing. I think people want to go back to back because there's been so much now about Clinton cash, Clinton contributions, you know the impropriety. You know of the foundation, Benghazi -- just one disaster after the next. The e-mail server, lack of transparency, these are all the news story that out there and now they want to go back and define the narrative themselves. So it also does show you that they are worried. They are concerned because they're throwing cash at us already.
WILLIAMS: Let me just say.
PERINO: And I think one of things.
WILLIAMS: Let me just finish that. Let me just come back to what Kimberly was talking about. These ads were planned awhile back. They are not like oh, last week, we just saw some new numbers and she's got a problem. The second thing.
GUILFOYLE: But they're releasing them now.
WILLIAMS: Yeah, but they had plans to release them, Kimberly.
GUILFOYLE: It depends. I don't know. Are you on that side?
WILLIAMS: The second thing to say is that you know what, these ads talk about her mother, right? Her mother was abandoned at 8-years-old, or it talks about the strong family. So where you guys are right is that her image is as kind of the entitled ice queen, right?
PERINO: Right.
WILLIAMS: People don't feel (inaudible). So the image that they are working to hone here is that she is a soft, loving person. That she's loyal to President Obama, she's a grandmother, and that she -- her mother had to struggle in America to make an image. Though the money, the tax numbers that came out last week, and in the case you paid 40 million on taxes made hundreds of million dollars. But that's not her, that she understands the problems of the middle class. That's what they're trying to do with us.
BOLLING: The problem is every time she opens her mouth in a speech or answers the very few questions she does ever answer that. Every time she opens her mouth, you realize she's not the person in those ads.
WATTERS: Right.
BOLLING: Maybe she is the person you're talking.
WILLIAMS: No. That's not true.
BOLLING: The ice queen who's got the coronation for the Democratic Party.
WILLIAMS: That is not true.
WATTERS: Yesterday, average on.
WATTERS: Bolling is right because every time she campaigns, her numbers gonna down, and that's why it is such a threat, Biden is such a threat, because he will force her to get out on the campaign trail.
WILLIAMS: Oh, yeah.
WATTERS: And force her to go.
WILLIAMS: Biden was.
PERINO: Can I tell you something else?
WATTERS: And the media and the numbers are going to go down.
PERINO: I want -- we're going to talk a little bit more about this subjects, a little bit later on the show, but I'm gonna get a last comment from Bolling before we go. They are -- that Clinton campaign is now actually admitting that they could lose primaries or caucuses, some of them -- to a socialist. Not to Joe Biden, they're actually worried about Bernie Sanders. They think they could lose a couple.
BOLLING: I'm.
GUILFOYLE: Annoying.
BOLLING: That I don't buy. I'll buy it -- they're worried about Joe Biden a little bit. I won't buy that they're worried about Bernie Sanders. I --
WILLIAMS: Why this happen?
GUILFOYLE: Well, they're worried about being humiliating. That's the problem.
WILLIAMS: You should worry about the republican side.
BOLLING: Every single.
WILLIAMS: You should worry about Trump because populism is the rage in America.
BOLLING: No, no. But Sanders is a socialist, Juan.
WILLIAMS: Whether it's Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump.
BOLLING: They are.
WILLIAMS: Oh, and what is Donald Trump?
BOLLING: A socialist president.
WILLIAMS: What is Donald Trump?
BOLLING: He is a capitalist.
WILLIAMS: So, so what?
BOLLING: He's the ultimate capitalist.
WILLIAMS: No, no, no. He is beyond. I think you know he is caricature.
WILLIAMS: The way we go. Make fun of Bernie.
PERINO: I love striking a nerve, right before I'm supposed to tease.
Anyway, the first debate of 2016 is just days away. We've got an update on the poll positions of the republican candidates. That's up next.
GUILFOYLE: Three days, that's when the first 2016 presidential debate takes place in Cleveland. Fox News will make the decision tomorrow night as to which candidates make it in the primetime. New polls show Trump still dominating. She has a support of 20 percent of GOP voters according to Quinnipiac. And then the survey by the Wall Street Journal and NBC, 19 percent, and that same survey, Hispanics were questioned on Trump, 75 percent of them they had a negative view of him. But the candidate is confident. He's going to win the Hispanic vote and also win the African- American vote -- in part because the president son a poor job with those communities.
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: He has done nothing for African- Americans. You look at what's going on with their income levels. You look at what's gone on where their youth. I thought that he would be a great cheerleader for this country. I thought he could do a fabulous job for the African-American citizens of this country. He has done nothing. And I think that I will win the African-American vote, and I think I will win the Hispanic vote. And if you see the reason polls that came out John, you will see that because I'm leading in the Hispanic vote.
PERINO: OK, Juan? Your eyes are wide open.
WILLIAMS: I don't know what to say. I mean, it's like, are you looking at the same numbers? Let's not even have a political discussion. But as you pointed out Kimberly, Hispanics -- what did you say, 70?
GUILFOYLE: Oh, it was one poll, but yeah.
WILLIAMS: Yeah, but I mean it's not one poll. There are several polls like that.
GUILFOYLE: Well.
WILLIAMS: I mean there's no way he's going to win the Hispanic vote. He's costing the Republican Party with Hispanic voters, who are so keen to their chances to win the White House. And when it comes to black voters, this thing he said this weekend about, we'll never have another black president because of Obama -- I mean, how insulting? So now, one black president or one black guy is like every other black guy. I mean, come on, this -- that's crazy. No one he had to fire someone for racist tweets and postings.
BOLLING: From 2007.
WILLIAMS: I don't care when it was.
BOLLING: No, no, nit the braces hosting that the guy made was in 2007.
WILLIAMS: Yeah.
BOLLING: I just want to clear about that.
WILLIAMS: Well, that's the.
WILLIAMS: I don't care what.
BOLLING: Well and it matters, Juan. I mean.
GUILFOYLE: Like he was saying. In terms that (inaudible).
BOLLING: Look, the latest polls, Manaton and the Wall Street Journal poll was you go to real clear politics. The numbers are, Trump at 22 percent. The next closest Walker 12.7 percent, Bush at 12.2 percent, I believe in those numbers. What really matter is, though, is he looks at the bottom. There are two spots toward the bottom. Every -- the first day are pretty much -- looks like they're settled, the last two spots, Kasich at 3.7, Chris Christie at 3.2 and Rick Perry at 2.7. There's an all out war going on there for the last two spots, one of them, either Kasich, Christie or Perry are gonna be left off that stage and a lot of people may be disappointed with that. The real reason why Donald Trump is at 20 percent and leading the field by 9 1/2 percent in the average is because of a little bit further down in real clear politics, you go congressional approval ratings, 16 percent approval rating and 74 percent negative view of what's going on in Congress. Donald Trump is the anti -- well, this is what's been going on in D.C. and people are flocking to it.
WILLIAMS: Well, I think that's probably right. Let me just quickly say that, so there's gonna be a new Fox poll that comes out on break -- (inaudible) right after our.
WILLIAMS: Right, and we.
GUILFOYLE: You love him more than I
WILLIAMS: No, no. Kimberly, how could anybody love anybody more than you?
WATTERS: Nice comeback.
WILLIAMS: Check it out, but I mean I have.
GUILFOYLE: Flowers and chocolates, please.
WILLIAMS: All right. No, but I was gonna say to you. I think that the most interesting thing that I'm noticing in these polls, and by the way, I think the guy that gets left out here is Rick Perry.
GUILFOYLE: Yeah.
WILLIAMS: I think that's becoming clear. I think Kasich gets in, but Perry gets left out.
GUILFOYLE: Yes.
WILLIAMS: And of course Perry was going to attack Trump. So I think that's helpful for Trump because I mean, you know, Perry is not going to insult him in that way. But I think the other thing to say here is that I noticing in these polls that Jeb Bush is not getting hurt by Trump. I wonder what you guys think about this. The establishment republican candidate is not the one who is losing support. It's the Cruz's, it's, to some extent the Carson's.
BOLLING: He's got 12 percent.
WILLIAMS: What do you mean?
BOLLING: Jeb bush is at 12.2 percent.
WILLIAMS: Yeah, but he's not losing support. You watch. If not, I mean that's what the polls indicate.
GUILFOYLE: He is saying that Trump has pulled from the other candidates.
WILLIAMS: Yes.
GUILFOYLE: And Jeb has maintained his base of support, but.
BOLLING: Do you think Jeb Bush was higher than 12.2 percent of six weeks ago?
WILLIAMS: Not much.
GUILFOYLE: I think depending on the poll.
BOLLING: I think he was. Anyway.
GUILFOYLE: But there's statistically speaking of plus or minus 3 percent.
WILLIAMS: And I think -- and you know all the stories that are coming out that say in fact, hey, guess what? Jeb loves this because all of the kind of anti-establishment power that you've been talking about, Eric, is now just putting every -- it drains the other candidates who might have been gaining a foothold and Trump will eventually go away, and there will be Jeb.
WATTERS: I don't know. I mean, I think Jeb is kind of coming off as a little patrician in all of this. And he sat back a little bit. I think he landed any punches against Trump. There are ways to attack Trump.
GUILFOYLE: Does he need to?
WATTERS: No, I don't think he needs to right now.
GUILFOYLE: I don't think he needs to.
WATTERS: But I think on Thursday, he's gonna have to throw some punches.
WILLIAMS: Oh no.
WATTERS: But I.
WILLIAMS: No. Why would you say that?
WATTERS: You don't think Trump is gonna go after Jeb in the debates?
WILLIAMS: It's fine. You know what?
WATTERS: So what did you do? You just said (inaudible)?
WILLIAMS: You know how I handle.
WATTERS: How would you?
WILLIAMS: You know what I do with that?
WATTERS: Yeah.
WILLIAMS: I sit here and I say.
GUILFOYLE: You boss him (ph)?
WILLIAMS: You, audience, make the decision. Do you want the rational person, or do you want Eric? That's why.
WATTERS: I don't know if it is a good idea.
BOLLING: What happen?
WATTERS: But I don't know if it looks good if the Jeb establishment frontrunner goes in denigrates, the republican base excited about Donald Trump.
GUILFOYLE: He just need too.
BOLLING: Are you sure you want to compare Jeb Bush for the Liberal? But because.
WILLIAMS: No, no, no, no.
BOLLING: Oh, OK.
WILLIAMS: Republicans don't think that.
WILLIAMS: But I was saying.
GUILFOYLE: Call somebody.
WILLIAMS: But I was saying, don't think that you want. If you're either Scott Walker or Jeb Bush, you don't want to get into a fight with Donald Trump.
WATTERS: Well, I wouldn't challenge it to a poll of.
GUILFOYLE: All right, Dana is next. Boys.
GUILFOYLE: No, no, no. Sit in your places of milk and cookies. The girls run it now. Go.
PERINO: Well, we got about 20 seconds left. I would just say I'm ready to get this show on the road. I'm excited about the debates. The top phase are gonna be the top phase. These numbers are actually -- the poll numbers move pretty quickly, except for those people that are at the very top. I think Trump will stay there, Bush, Walker, but others have a chance. And I also would really encourage people to watch the debate forum at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday because there are some really great candidates. And on the republican side, you have choices. You have lots of different people. And that 5 o'clock Juan, actually, could end up being a little bit more telling about what could happen in the future after this primetime debate because some of those people are going to shine and others are going to drop out.
GUILFOYLE: I totally agree. Somebody like in that 5 o'clock, for sure at least one will end up in the top ten, you know, in a matter of time. That's why it's so important. People, they are putting it on instead of our show. That's how important and good it is. Let's be honest.
PERINO: there you go.
GUILFOYLE: Taking our slot. And one more thing, I want to ask you about the strategy for the debate that was mentioned here. Does Jeb Bush have to do anything to attack the other candidates? What do you think if you're advising him his strategy should be?
PERINO: Well, I'm not for personal insults and attacks. I mean.
GUILFOYLE: Right.
PERINO: I don't like that as a viewer, and I think that when you look at some of those numbers at republican women, whether they are looking for. They don't typically like that from anybody, and it can come from anyone. But I also just think the most important thing is authenticity, right? One of the things -- one of the reasons Donald Trump is done very well because, if you dig in and ask people why do you like it? It's like because he's just himself. He's not poll tested, he's just himself and people like that. So I would say if you want to try to win the hearts and minds of republican voters in this debate, just try to be yourself and let the chips fall where they may.
WATTERS: And Trump is going to win the black vote. Yes, he is.
WATTERS: Let see, he's got Juan's vote.
PERINO: Obama has a 96 percent.
WILLIAMS: Absolutely.
PERINO: Approval rating with African-Americans.
PERINO: I think that's not going to happen.
GUILFOYLE: Yeah. Let's get real back to (inaudible).
WILLIAMS: Thank you.
WATTERS: Put Michelle Obama on the ticket. There you go.
GUILFOYLE: Bye Jesse. Ahead, a hunter defends their big game kills after photos spark outrage. And an UFC champ defends her title, knocking out her opponent in seconds. Details are all coming up next, in the Fastest 7.
BOLLING: Welcome back, time for the fastest seven minutes on television. Three arousing stories, seven accelerated minutes, one amiable host. First up, Cecil the Lion is dead, killed by a Minnesota dentist. In fact, Cecil has lured out of a protective reserve, killed and his head was taken for a trophy, disturbing and illegal. The debate is heating up surrounding a legal kill by an Idaho hunter who too down a giraffe recently, and posted this picture to her Facebook page. Outrage, ensued and Sabrina Corgatelli went on The Today Show to explain the difference.
SABRINA CORGATELLI, IDAHO HUNTER: Everybody just thinks we're cold-hearted killers and it's not that. There is a connection with the animals and it -- just because we hunt them, doesn't mean we don't have a respect for them. Everything I've done is legal. So how can you fault somebody because of their hobbies?
BOLLING: Look, I'm pro-gun. I'm pro-legal hunt, but I'm sorry, do we really -- Americans really need to travel to Africa to kill these animals -- Jesse, this side or the other side?
WATTERS: Well, I mean, first of all, I don't think it's a good idea to criticize any woman holding a firearm. I think that's just bad policy.
BOLLING: Noted, noted.
WATTERS: You know when the left is attacking this woman, they should be celebrating her. I mean she burst into this male dominated hunting culture. She is out in the wild in Africa and Ms. Independent bagging big game. I mean, you got to celebrate Sandra Fluke for begging for birth control with by tax dollars with this woman is out of line. I just don't get it.
BOLLING: So she played.
GUILFOYLE: In bluff.
BOLLING: The defender game (inaudible) on that one.
PERINO: I just love how your brain works.
WATTERS: At least you think my brain works.
PERINO: I'm not for killing the giraffe or any of -- I don't think - I agree with you. I understand why they - that they do a lot for conservation efforts and a lot of that money is supposedly is going to try to help them, but I think one of the things that we could all, maybe agree on in 2015 is, this is inappropriate.
BOLLING: Juan?
GUILFOYLE: So terrible.
WILLIAMS: Yeah, you know I just I feel bad about it. I -- you know, I don't understand why people feel the need to like destroy what I think is God's creation. I just don't see it. I mean I don't see that there's even any sport in it. And you know you and I love sports. Spectators were so in participating, but they, you know, these people have high-powered weapons, even a bow and arrow, and they lure the animals. They trap this. There's no like risk to the hunter. It's just.
BOLLING: What the dentist did -- what the dentist did was illegal. He lured an animal out of a protected area and killed it.
K.G., a lot of people are saying, but it's a legal hunt, though.
GUILFOYLE: OK. Doesn't mean that it's OK morally or ethically. And there's a reason that they took two giraffes on the ark.
BOLLING: Stay right there. Stay right there.
In the pre-fight weigh-in between undefeated UFC champion Ronda Rousey, her opponent, Bethe Correia, warned the champ, "You'd better not cry." Well, that's all it took. There's fire in the belly of the champ, who some say is the best fighter, man or woman. It took only 34 seconds to knockout Correia. Here's Rousey just minutes after her win.
RONDA ROUSEY, UFC CHAMPION: She was screaming in my face at weigh-ins. She was saying, "Don't cry." So I turned around to her after I knocked her out and I said, "Don't cry."
BOLLING: Boom! K.G.
GUILFOYLE: Love it. I really wanted to do this for a living.
BOLLING: Ultimate fighting?
GUILFOYLE: Yes. I really -- I'm not kidding. My dad was horrified.
Wait a minute. Did you say you want to do this for a living?
BOLLING: That temper might actually work in this case.
GUILFOYLE: I know.
BOLLING: Juan.
WILLIAMS: Wait a minute. You say you want to do this for a living?
GUILFOYLE: Well, I mean, look. I would love to do it. I think it's so exciting. I love boxing. I love fighting. I love martial arts.
WILLIAMS: Do you understand that you can get hit?
GUILFOYLE: Yes. Well, I don't count on getting hit. That wasn't what happened when I was boxing.
BOLLING: Let me bring it around. Dana, Ms. Correia at one point during this lead-up to this fight said something to the effect of, to the champ and said, "You should just go kill yourself." The champ's father killed himself when she was 8.
PERINO: So I've never had the pleasure of meeting Ronda Rousey, but I was -- her autobiography came out around the same time that my book came out last April. And I happened to be, like in her wake. She would go -- I would be in Texas sort of a week after she was.
And apparently, the crowds were crazy for her. There's a lot of love for her. I was able to look through her book. It's very interesting. And today it was announced that her autobiography is being picked up by Hollywood, and there will be a movie about her life.
BOLLING: Jesse, I was around watching Mike Tyson knock people out in 10 and 15 seconds back in the day. She's done the same thing. She's done the same thing.
GUILFOYLE: She's amazing.
BOLLING: Four of her 12 wins were, like, in the first minute.
WATTERS: She's brutal. I wouldn't like to get in the ring with her.
I don't like watching women fight in the ring, to be perfectly honest. I don't know if that's sexist. I'd rather watch them do something else.
PERINO: You just contradicted yourself.
WATTERS: ... tennis. I just don't like to watch them beat each other up.
PERINO: Gymnastics?
WATTERS: Gymnastics I like.
WILLIAMS: You know what just happened there?
WATTERS: Volleyball.
BOLLING: I think this is the emergency management.
GUILFOYLE: Yes. He would pop the collar right off anybody. Let me tell you.
WILLIAMS: Dana just pollster-ized you, brother.
WATTERS: She did.
BOLLING: Let's go to Juan first on this. Finally...
PERINO: Haven't hear of it.
BOLLING: ... in just a little over a month, Stephen Colbert will take over "The Late Show" after David letterman retired in May. CBS released a series of trailers that give us a glimpse as to what Colbert's character will be. Will it be the fake conservative? Will it be Colbert himself? Rumors are that Colbert will introduce a character that is a talk show host who plays dumb. We report, you decide.
STEPHEN COLBERT, TAKING OVER "THE LATE SHOW": Hi, America. It's Stephen Colbert. I can't wait to start hosting "The Late Show" starting September 8 on CBS. I'll talk about the news, tell jokes, and have fascinating conversations with celebrities, athletes, musicians, and of course, politicians. Wow. You do a great Mitt Romney?
MITT ROMNEY (R), FORMER GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS: I am Mitt Romney.
COLBERT: That's it. Stay in character.
"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," starting September 8.
ROMNEY: Where are my pancakes? I was told there'd be pancakes.
BOLLING: What do you say, Juan?
WILLIAMS: I like that a lot. Didn't he do this when he went out and he was with -- I'm trying to think of the rapper's name out in Michigan. Eminem. He was with Eminem. Colbert went out with Eminem. And he did a little bit. And again, he pretended like he didn't know who Eminem was and he should prepare for retirement and all that. I love it. I think that's funny.
BOLLING: So Dana, your thoughts? His -- "The Colbert Report," he was a fake conservative. Outrage.
PERINO: I don't know if you can actually pull that off on network television night after night with everybody watching. I think it's a broader audience. I'm excited for the show. I think it's going to give us a lot of material in a good way, right? He's going to be able to attract really great guests.
WILLIAMS: It's going to be in "The Fastest Seven" for sure.
BOLLING: What do you guys think of the fake dumb act going on as a TV host?
GUILFOYLE: I don't know. I don't know if it's, like, sustainable to do it every night. I mean, mix it up. Why not? He's good at it. He could play multiple characters. And I thought Mitt Romney was adorable. I love pancakes, too.
BOLLING: Some people say I do that every single night -- Jesse.
WATTERS: I wasn't going to say that. I didn't think it was funny, and I...
BOLLING: It's all an act, really.
WATTERS: Stop, stop. I'm not going to pull a Geraldo on you.
GUILFOYLE: So he's going to mimic you?
BOLLING: What's going on?
WATTERS: He stole your act.
BOLLING: All right. Last thought, anybody? We're going to wrap it up.
Next, will Congress defund Planned Parenthood? They're about to vote in the Senate in minutes. That's breaking. Coming up.
WATTERS: This is a FOX News alert. You're looking live at the Senate floor where a vote has just begun on whether to defund Planned Parenthood after four undercover videos surfaced exposing its disturbing practice of selling the body parts of aborted babies.
Earlier, the group's leader pushed back on the vote.
CECILE RICHARDS, PRESIDENT, PLANNED PARENTHOOD: The vote tonight will actually be about denying women access to birth control, cancer screenings, test and treatment. For many woman, Planned Parenthood is their only doctor. I think we will be successful. And I think it's important that Congress recognize and our own research shows the American people trust Planned Parenthood.
WATTERS: The White House is still standing by Planned Parenthood, and so is Hillary Clinton.
HILLARY CLINTON (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Republicans like Scott Walker and Jeb Bush are calling to defund Planned Parenthood, the country's leading provider of reproductive health care, and they are joined by Republicans in Congress who will not waste a minute in voting to make that happen. If this feels like a full-on assault on women's health, that's because it is. I'm proud to stand with Planned Parenthood.
WATTERS: So let me get this straight. Last week, Hillary Clinton said that the videos of Planned Parenthood were disturbing. And now she turns around and cuts an ad that says we need to support the organization whose behavior in the videos is disturbing. I don't -- how does that make sense?
BOLLING: Can I get something in here real quick? Dana called it last week. When Hillary Clinton came out and said -- she came out and she surprised a lot of Democrats by having that stance last week on Planned Parenthood.
WATTERS: Yes.
BOLLING: And they're going to have to do a lot of cleaning up. She's...
PERINO: She's cleaning up for them.
But see, for Hillary, she always gets to have it both ways. Like, the Keystone debate, Iran, pulling troops out of Iraq now, like whatever, she gets to be everywhere.
And on this one, I appreciate somebody like Senator Manchin today of West Virginia, a Democrat, who came out on the Cavuto show at 4 p.m. and said he had made a decision: he was going to vote to defund.
I actually think that defunding is just a first step. I actually think that -- I agree with Hillary Clinton of last week, where she said that this practice of selling aborted baby parts has to be looked at across the board, not just at Planned Parenthood.
GUILFOYLE: Correct.
WATTERS: And they're going to need a lot of Democrat votes in order to reach the 60 that they're going to have to overcome the filibuster. Because you know the Democrats are going to filibuster.
I mean, does this make sense? They pass it, maybe over these objections, the Democrats, and then Obama vetoes it. You've got to have a Republican president and a Republican House and Senate to ever defund Planned Parenthood, correct?
BOLLING: I'll just jump in on that. There's 54 Republican senators; Manchin makes 55 votes. He ain't getting that.
WATTERS: That's it.
BOLLING: That's probably where you're going to get, so this is more of a statement than an actual defunding.
PERINO: And an important statement. It matters.
WILLIAMS: Absolutely.
PERINO: Right?
WILLIAMS: OK. So it's an important statement for people who oppose abortion rights in this country.
BOLLING: No.
GUILFOYLE: Wrong.
WILLIAMS: It is important for Republicans who have sought to politicize. And that's -- all...
GUILFOYLE: Wrong again. One more.
WILLIAMS: All the Republicans running for president, they went back to Washington, because they want to cast this vote.
BOLLING: Juan, they're not voting on Roe v. Wade. They're voting on defunding a company, an organization, that sells body parts.
WILLIAMS: Oh, stop.
BOLLING: Which is far different from...
PERINO: It's true.
WILLIAMS: What you're talking about is fetal tissue. And if you want to have a discussion about abortion, OK. I'm sensitive to this, because I think people who oppose abortion have every right to do so. But if you're talking about fetal tissue and research, research that leads to vaccines...
GUILFOYLE: Juan...
WATTERS: Were you disturbed by the videos?
WILLIAMS: Sure. I'm disturbed when people talk about cutting me open or cracking my chest to do heart surgery. I don't like even frogs being cut up. No.
WATTERS: It's not a frog. It's a human life.
PERINO: Juan.
WILLIAMS: A woman having an abortion is a difficult subject for us all, Jesse. There's no question. But this is about an attack on -- apolitical attack on Planned Parenthood.
PERINO: No, it's not.
WILLIAMS: And as that (UNINTELLIGIBLE) just said, it's an attack on healthcare for women in this country.
WATTERS: It's actually not an attack on healthcare at all. Because you know, you can do whatever you need to do without Planned Parenthood. Now Kimberly...
GUILFOYLE: Yes, I mean...
WATTERS: ... it's obviously hyper-partisan. Juan's not recognizing the reality of what was going on in the videos.
GUILFOYLE: He's the one that's making it partisan. No, because you're the one referring to it in terms that you can deal with.
WILLIAMS: What?
GUILFOYLE: Fetal tissue. They didn't make these in a lab in a little Petri dish. These are babies. These are lives. These are bodies that have been cut up, because it was convenient, and then profited on by people selling it.
WILLIAMS: Let me ask you: Are we talking about abortion or are we talking about the research?
GUILFOYLE: You want to talk about the research.
WILLIAMS: Guess what? So women have an abortion. The question is what happens to the tissue.
GUILFOYLE: You want to talk about the research. And the research can be done in a way without baby parts.
WILLIAMS: Abortion is legal.
WATTERS: In 1993, they signed a law to make it illegal to harvest body parts to sell.
WILLIAMS: Nobody's doing that. Nobody's doing that.
BOLLING: That's what the video shows.
WILLIAMS: That's not what they're doing. It does not show that.
WILLIAMS: It does not show normal abortions and that's the end of the story. The video shows Planned Parenthood operatives making deals for body -- for baby body parts.
WILLIAMS: This is a horrific fantasy that you have. If they had shown anything illegal...
GUILFOYLE: Juan, seriously, something is really wrong. You've got to go get a checkup or something.
WILLIAMS: It's obviously illegal. That's why Planned Parenthood tried to get these videos thrown out by a judge.
WILLIAMS: Take them to court.
PERINO: Juan, actually, that's what Hillary Clinton suggested. She said that all of these should be -- all these practices should be looked at.
WILLIAMS: Sure. If it's illegal, go. It's not illegal.
PERINO: That's what -- she said there should be an investigation.
WATTERS: You're the last of Hillary. We actually have to go to commercial.
PERINO: Can I make one reading recommendation?
WATTERS: Quickly.
PERINO: OK. George Will's column today, if you Google it, he explains it very well and explains why taxpayers should not have to fund Planned Parenthood. It's a great piece.
GUILFOYLE: Why don't you just tweet every day, reading?
WILLIAMS: That's good.
GUILFOYLE: You should.
WATTERS: Still to come, Debbie Wasserman Schultz takes a second shot at explaining the difference between a Democrat and a socialist after stumbling on the question last week. Did the DNC chair come up with an answer this time? You'll find out next.
GUILFOYLE: She is...
WILLIAMS: Last week, Debbie Wasserman Schultz had a heck of a time trying to explain the difference between a Democrat and a socialist.
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST, MSNBC: What is the difference between a Democrat and a socialist? I used to think there was a big difference. What do you think it is?
DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, DNC CHAIR: The difference between...
MATTHEWS: A Democrat like Hillary Clinton and a socialist like Bernie Sanders.
SCHULTZ: What's the difference between being a Democrat and being a Republican?
MATTHEWS: Well, what...
WILLIAMS: So Debbie had a few days to regroup. Right? But when she went on "Meet the Press" yesterday, did she have an answer this time?
CHUCK TODD, HOST, NBC'S "MEET THE PRESS": Can you explain the difference?
WASSERMAN SCHULTZ: You know, Chuck, it's always fun to be interviewed by Chris Matthews. And I know that he enjoys that banter.
The important distinction that I think we're going to be discussing -- I'm confident we'll be discussing in this campaign is the difference between Democrats and Republicans.
WILLIAMS: Good enough for you, Dana Perino?
PERINO: Nope. And neither was her answer, right? OK. And for Democrats. She leads the Democratic committee. She -- they should expect her to be able to have an answer.
If you get asked by Chris Matthews a question that gets a lot of attention, you can expect that four days later you're going to get that same question from somebody. However, you want to know why Democrats don't think they'll get that question? They think it's always going to be easy on them. They always think that it's going to be easy on them. So they get one tough -- this should not be a tough question. What is the difference between a Democrat and a socialist? I think they should be forced to answer.
WILLIAMS: Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Go ahead. Yes.
BOLLING: What is the difference?
WILLIAMS: I've told you.
BOLLING: Oh!
PERINO: He told us last week.
WILLIAMS: Democrats are -- Democrats are capitalists. Democrats have always been capitalists. Socialists believe in state-owned enterprises controlled by employees.
But let me just take it to another level with you, having answered your question so great...
BOLLING: Poorly. Poorly.
WILLIAMS: Wait a second. Let me just say, so here's Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders is a socialist, running as an independent, now running as a Democrat. When Bernie Sanders, when he was asked this, talked about socialists looking at countries that have successful records in fighting for and implementing programs for middle-class people -- Denmark, Finland, Norway -- the rights of people, the free education, free health care. What do you think, Eric?
BOLLING: He's clearly a socialist. But the problem is, the reason why Debbie Wasserman Schultz can't answer it and you answered it the way you did is because there is no difference. No, the progressive Democrat is closer and closer to pure socialism than ever before.
GUILFOYLE: It is.
BOLLING: And getting worse. Under President Obama, income equality is rise (ph) and more taxation.
WILLIAMS: Would you think Obama is a big liberal and a big Democrat?
BOLLING: I would say that under President Obama income equality -- so the gap between the wealthy and the poor has expanded.
WILLIAMS: Yes, yes.
BOLLING: Even though he's taken more money from the taxpayers.
WILLIAMS: Oh, OK.
BOLLING: He has given more money to people who aren't working and who want Food Stamps and whatnot (ph).
WILLIAMS: OK. Let me just ask you a question, then. So if Obama is such a big liberal, how come he's not approving for state-run enterprises? How come he's giving tax breaks to people? How come he's leaving Wall Street...
BOLLING: That's a redistribution. That's a redistribution of wealth.
PERINO: I think Juan's winning.
WATTERS: You know what the difference between a Democrat and a socialist is? Democrats are just better at hiding their core beliefs. OK?
And, you know, if we wanted to be socialists, Juan, why did we fight the American Revolutionary War?
WILLIAMS: I don't think...
WATTERS: And if I were Debbie Wasserman Schultz, you know what I would have said the difference is? I would have said, "Well, the difference is Greece. That's the difference. They're socialist and look what happened to them."
WILLIAMS: So Kimberly, what if somebody said what's the difference between a Republican and a plutocrat?
GUILFOYLE: Awesomeness.
PERINO: Good answer.
WILLIAMS: All right. "One More Thing" up next.
PERINO: It's time now for "One More Thing." Kimberly.
GUILFOYLE: All right. You want to hear what we were talking about before.
So this is great. This is kids at the Floating Hospital for Children at Tuft's Medical Center in Boston. So they knew the "Ghostbusters" reboot was filming nearby. But guess what -- look at the surprise they got when the ladies came by to come over and check it out. Can you imagine being a kid who's sick and getting a surprise like this from the movie? It's very, very cool.
PERINO: That's great.
BOLLING: That is nice.
GUILFOYLE: And it's going to be great. Like you're a fan of all these actors.
And "FOX and Friends" tomorrow. Yes. Mornings are better with friends.
PERINO: And Kimberly...
GUILFOYLE: Yes, wake up with me tomorrow. Do you...
PERINO: Oh, boy. No one is going to sleep tonight.
All right. Eric.
BOLLING: OK, so 2001, we were introduced to Derek Zoolander. And now, February 2016, "Zoolander 2." Here's a bite.
ROBOTIC VOICE: One question that has puzzled mankind since the beginning of time.
BEN STILLER, COMEDIAN: If God exists, then why did he make ugly people?
PERINO: I like it.
BOLLING: So if you're a big fan of "Zoolander" -- I am, I think Kimberly is, as well...
GUILFOYLE: Blue steel. Blue steel, babe.
PERINO: Jasper can do a great blue steel.
GUILFOYLE: I married that one time.
BOLLING: Do the face?
WATTERS: Don't do that.
PERINO: Jesse, you're next.
WATTERS: As you guys all know, I am a very open-minded person.
GUILFOYLE: Not.
WATTERS: Not sure who I'm going to vote for. It's either going to be Hillary, or Trump, or Bernie, or Jeb. I'm not sure. But now, after watching this video, my mind is made up.
SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Machine gun bacon.
WATTERS: There you have it. Machine gun bacon. I'm now going to be caucusing for Senator Cruz. He's got my vote.
PERINO: All right. Well, that's one.
GUILFOYLE: I did a segment on it.
PERINO: OK. Look...
WATTERS: That's one.
PERINO: Do you want to know something that drives me crazy? Anybody listening to me?
GUILFOYLE: Yes, I'm listening.
PERINO: You are listening to me. OK. One of the things that drives me crazy in the city is -- and I'm probably guilty of it -- is that people are walking and texting at the same time with their phones. And what happens is because we are evolutionary creatures, we have started to adapt the way that we walk. And we're taking shorter steps and making sure that our feet are never lifting off the ground so that we don't get in any accidents.
GUILFOYLE: You do that anyway.
PERINO: What do you mean?
GUILFOYLE: You take, like, little shorter steps, and you walk.
PERINO: Well, my legs are really short, but I can walk fast. Anyway, it is having an effect on how we walk. Just wanted to point that out. Kimberly.
Juan, you get to go.
WILLIAMS: All right. So this weekend, big news. The tenth annual Unleashed Petco Surf Dog Competition, Imperial Beach in San Diego. Over 50 dogs competed. Top prize went to Ziggy, a 15-pound toy American Eskimo. The big dog winner was a Golden Retriever. This was fun.
And you know why I did this? I did this for Dana, because she loves dogs. And I love them.
PERINO: I've got to tell you something.
GUILFOYLE: Jasper has to do this.
PERINO: You won the "One More Thing" contest today. Congratulations.
Set your DVRs. Never miss an episode of "The Five." That's it for us. "Special Report" is next.

28th November 2016 – Sleep, it really isn't happening still! My problem isn't that I can't get to sleep. My problem is that after only one sleep cycle, or about 4 hours or so, I wake up and once awake, try as I might, I just can't get back to sleep. More

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by T-hug, Jun 3, 2008.
You play it with the stylus making this game even less wanted by me. Anyway I prefer Kung-Fu Skunk.
Lawl cewl Kung-Fu!
Hmm, don't know if i want to play this game.., but if i'll do i'll play the Wii version instead, well my younger sister might think it is fun if i don't..
Also the Release name = Kung_Fu_Panda_USA_NDS-Micronauts
OK, I don't know shit about this game, but it looks and sounds ok, some of the stylus control games totally rock (The World Ends With You, Ninja Gaiden, Kirby Canvas Curse, etc.).
I'll definately give this a try, just gotta somehow free up some space on my memory card.
ah, we have an intellect onboard!
someone's in for a permaban... rite?
It's obviously Oxyg3n under a different name. As soon as he got in trouble for one of his posts, these "newbs" started showing up. That is probably why the mods banned his original screen name too Good riddance!
File Name: kfpanda-mcrnts
I require some summon night.
Certainly not a bad game. Enjoying it more than lego indiana jones. Like a lightweight castlevania game, where you unlock new moves / attacks to reach new areas. Basic fighting so far, but still good. You drag the stylus to combine different attacks and there are special moves gained from the warriors too.
You even get the metroid morphball here..
Well i think this is not too bad, the voice overs are hilarious.
Probably the funniest game I've played.
Is it the real voices from the movie, or are they sound-alikes?
The game is really good. Its at least worth to try out. Its really funny and fun to play. :]
Well well yet another movie tie in that isn't crap, its not great but its alright. Fighting feels a lot like Spider-Man 3 DS, which is by the same developers. Like that game this seems fun for a while and then you get bored.
The voice overs really irritate me, won't ever want to watch this film sick of all these animal films now.
5 and a half out of 10
Seems to me that there was some kind of games developer meeting, and they all agreed to pull their fingers out, regarding movie tie-ins ...
Wow much VO in there ! Fun Game, although I'm busy with STil Alive (which I finished once yay) and LIJ
Playing with the stylus is not an issue for me its how they implement it. Ninja Dragon sword and Zelda used it well, its a fine line though between good controls and complete failure. I haven't tried this yet but I will tonight. Cant say I am expecting much though.
Yeah, that's about right where I'd rate this game. The combat is pretty fun, and the combat controls are surprisingly responsive. But the type of demands the game's platforming put on you aren't really well-suited for holding a stylus in one hand. Seeings how Vicarious Visions has also been currently working on the Guitar Hero DS game (and perhaps other projects), they probably put only a handful of guys and gals on this project, and it shows. The basics are there, but nothing else. It's a bare-bones production, using some pretty good VV technology.
To the poster who asked about the VO work, I'm pretty sure that Jack Black did his own voice work for this game, but not sure about any of the other actors, having not seen the movie or knowing who else is supposed to be in it.

Les Bradd, Business Development Officer
I was born in 1947 in Buxton, Derbyshire, and made my professional football debut in 1966 for Rotherham United before leaving in 1967 after making 3 appearances to join Notts County Football Club. I went on to make over 400 appearances for Notts County scoring 136 goals and in doing so became the Club's all time highest goalscorer which is a record that I am very proud to still hold today.
After leaving the Club I went on to play for Stockport County, Wigan Athletic and Bristol Rovers in a career that spanned over 600 League and Cup games scoring over 200 goals.
Following my retirement from football in 1983 I began work as Lottery Manager at Notts County where I stayed for 11 years before moving to Nottingham Forest in 1994 to take up a role as assistant to the commercial manager. I moved back to County in 2006 to work with the commercial team but moved on in 2008 to work with one of the Club's main sponsors at the time, Hillsides Medical Supplies as defibrillator and CPR trainer.
In 2012 I retired from full time employment and have since enjoyed the role as ambassador for the Club and more recently supporting the team at Football in the Community.
Seeing the work at first hand that the coaches and staff at FITC complete in running varied programmes for all ages in the community on a daily basis has been a real education to me, and for which all concerned should feel very proud in celebrating 25 years of service to the community.

On Thursday 6th February, three Marketing members of Qdos Contractor left the confines of Leicestershire to visit the Sift Media headquarters in Bristol.
The day accommodated numerous talks from various individuals, each professing different topics and tips.
It was immediately obvious that the whole team were extremely well-versed in their respective areas.
Email marketing, effective copy, social media and mobile formatting were just a few of the topics discussed.
By the end of the day, it's fair to say on behalf of everyone that an atmosphere of creativity was palpable, combined with determination to exercise many of the tips presented.
We learnt to steal, we learnt to bring beer to parties, and we learnt to carry a flip camera with us. But more importantly, we learnt an enormous amount of new ways in which to improve our digital marketing, thanks to Sift Media.

|538 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
Modern penthouse with terrace offering attractive views to Barcelona, until the sea. Enjoy it while dining out or planning your visit to the city sighting avenues and monuments. Relax in a spacious living room with sofa bed, air conditioning, flat screen TV, listening to music or connecting to Internet via wifi. The apartment is equipped with one bedroom with double bed, bathroom with shower and kitchen with dishwasher.
Only 15 minutes walk from the main Barcelona and Gaudí attractions: Sagrada Familia, Passeig de Gracia, La Pedrera ... Very well connected to the center and the cosmopolitan waterfront district, Barceloneta, 10 minutes by subway. The tourist bus route stops at your feet, taking you up to the Park Güell.
The location is ideal to explore Barcelona's bustling center: is close enough to enjoy it.This is an advantage: only 15 minutes walk back at any time, as the area is totally secure. Gracia is a safe neighborhood and is full of small restaurants, bars and small shops open until late at night. It stands at the door of the Gracia neighborhood, where small craft workshops and street shops coexist with local designers.
Enjoy the city during the day and relax in the independent terrace in the evening with its spectacular open views to the sea!
I've lived in this apartment for many years, so it's homy and detailed. The views of the city and the sea are unique, relaxing and spectacular, enjoy them!
The private terrace , independent and open views to the sea are a unique privilege in the city!
Also the strategic location : 15 minutes from Gaudí masterpieces: Park Guell , Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera, which is city center.
Great kitchen. Great outdoor patio, with a wonderful veie of the city.Visually very nice space. Perfect for a multi-day stay in a very nifty city.
we stayed here for 5 nights and loved it. the location is incredible if you prefer to walk everywhere. excellent access to park guell and sagrada familia. walking to downtown area is ok too but a bit further.
one of the best features was the balcony. a particularly memorable night was just walking a 2 block radius and picking up caramelized onion ravioli, baguette (fresh pasta shop), 2 bottles of local wine (wine shop about 2 blocks away), and an amazing dessert from a pastisserie. an entire gourmet dinner on the balcony for less than 20 euro!
one mention too that although we didnt meet sandra, she was super helpful. we had trouble getting a taxi for our trip to the airport and she gladly booked one for us.
there is no question that i would stay there again if ever in barcelona.
This was our best rental yet and we use VRBO a lot. The Placa Joanic is right at the center of the Metro map of Barcelona and it feels like it. One can walk to most parts of the city or just jump on the subway down the block. Getting out of town is a breeze. And the view from the expansive terrace - truly magnificent. The entire eastern and southern skies are visible. We watched boats in the harbor ( bring a telescope or binoculars if you have them ) and could watch the sun set over the mountains. On a smaller scale, the little park below us was a shifting hub -bub of action. Dogs playing, kids soccer games, ping pong, and locals chatting on benches, all right at our feet.
The apartment itself is about average-sized by European standards, about 50 meters square. But it definitely feels larger with the high ceilings. constant sunlight, and big terrace. Kitchen was well-equipped and very functional. Bathroom was nicely done, with a good shower. Bedroom can be kept separate and quiet but even in February it was nice to crack the window and get fresh air while sleeping. The wifi worked well, except got a little slow at peak times , which was a neighborhood issue, not unique to our apartment. Everything you could want is obtainable within a 6 block radius- markets, bakeries, health club, wine store, empanada shop, bars to watch futbal- you really wouldn't ever have to leave the immediate neighborhood.
Of course the owner can make or break even the best of apartments. Sandra was genuinely a delight. Very responsive right from our first email til our last day and just a sweetheart of a person. Her English is great.
Taken all together this was about as nice a rental as a person could hope for. We spent a month here and would come back in a heartbeat. In fact we'd plan a trip around getting this very unit again if need be. Couldn't imagine staying anywhere else after this.
we're a couple, age 55+, first time visitors to Spain. We loved Barcelona, Gracia, and this apartment. Gracia was a perfect location for our visit. Just far enough from the main whirlwind of tourist activity but not too far from all of the things we came to see(Gaudi,art, Barcelona history and culture). The Metro was just 1/2 block from the front door and took us everywhere, never needed or wanted a car. Food shopping was very convenient and good restaurants are abundant in every direction. The apartment was delightful. The terrace(9th floor) was a great place to unwind and review the day while looking over the city. We had everything we needed to prepare meals, the bed was comfortable, everything worked as it should. Sandra was very helpful with anything we needed and was a delightful host. We loved this place, felt right at home here and had a terrific visit to a beautiful city.
Nous avons bien apprécié l'accueil de Ramon pour nous présenter l'appartement et les détails des commerces aux alentours.
L'air climatisé fût très appréciée en ce temps de l'année.
Il ne manque qu'une cafetière d'une capacité de 8 tasses au moins au lieu de la petite cafetière italienne d'une tasse.
L'ascenseur devrait avoir un système de ventilation parce que monter au 7e niveau à quatre personnes, nous constatons rapidement le manque d'air frais. Il ne faudrait pas que l'ascenseur tombe en panne.
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la proximité de la station de Metro Joanic.
Destacamos la ubicación , para nosotros perfecta en Gracia (nuestro barrio favorito de Barna)con acceso fácil al metro y parking cerca...El apartamento tiene todo lo necesario y estuvimos muy cómodos los tres...Las vistas de la terraza ...espectaculares. También agradecemos a Sandra su disponibilidad y amabilidad...seguro que volveremos

PermalinkIt really is a sad day when the Bush appointed wonks at the FCC allow a GOP
Raw Message
commercial disguised as a documentary. This "ad" disguised as a documentary
was created by a former employee of Tom Ridge. Read below. I feel sorry for
citizens of the U.S.
(from today's NY Times)

Thanks to Elizabeth Jensen of The Los Angeles Times, who first broke the
story last weekend, we now know that Sinclair has grander ambitions for the
election. It has ordered all its stations, whose most powerful reach is in
swing states like Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania, to broadcast a "news"
special featuring a film, "Stolen Honor," that trashes Mr. Kerry along the
lines of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads. The film's creator is a man
who spent nearly eight years in the employ of Tom Ridge. Sinclair has
ordered that it be run in prime time during a specific four nights in late
October, when it is likely to be sandwiched in with network hits like "CSI,"
"The Apprentice" and "Desperate Housewives." Democrats are screaming, but
don't expect the Bush apparatchiks at federal agencies to pursue their
complaints as if they were as serious as a "wardrobe malfunction." A more
likely outcome is that Sinclair, which already reaches 24 percent of
American viewers, will reap the regulatory favors it is seeking to expand
that audience in a second Bush term.
Like the Nixon administration before it, the Bush administration arrived at
the White House already obsessed with news management and secrecy. Nixon
gave fewer press conferences than any president since Hoover; Mr. Bush has
given fewer than any in history. Early in the Nixon years, a special
National Press Club study concluded that the president had instituted "an
unprecedented, government-wide effort to control, restrict and conceal
information." Sound familiar? The current president has seen to it that even
future historians won't get access to papers he wants to hide; he quietly
gutted the Presidential Records Act of 1978, the very reform enacted by
Congress as a post-Watergate antidote to pathological Nixonian secrecy.
The path of the Bush White House as it has moved from Agnew-style press
baiting to outright assault has also followed its antecedent. The Nixon
administration's first legal attack on the press, a year before the
Watergate break-in, was its attempt to stop The Times and The Washington
Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers, the leaked internal Defense
Department history of our failure in Vietnam. Though 9/11 prompted Ari
Fleischer's first effort to warn the media to "watch what they say," it's
failure in Iraq that has pushed the Bush administration over the edge. It
was when Operation Iraqi Freedom was bogged down early on that it spun the
fictional saga of Jessica Lynch. It's when the percentage of Americans who
felt it was worth going to war in Iraq fell to 50 percent in the Sept. 2003
Gallup poll, down from 73 that April, that identically worded letters
"signed" by different soldiers mysteriously materialized in 11 American
newspapers, testifying that security for Iraq's citizens had been "largely
restored." (As David Greenberg writes in his invaluable "Nixon's Shadow,"
phony letters to news outlets were also a favorite Nixon tactic.) The legal
harassment of the press, like the Republican party's Web-driven efforts to
discredit specific journalists even at non-CBS networks, has escalated in
direct ratio to the war's decline in support.
"What you're seeing on your TV screens," the president said when minimizing
the Iraq insurgency in May, are "the desperate tactics of a hateful few."
Maybe that's the sunny news that can be found on a Sinclair station. Now,
with our election less than three weeks away, the bad news coming out of
Iraq everywhere else is a torrent. Reporters at virtually every news
organization describe a downward spiral so dangerous that they can't venture
anywhere in Iraq without risking their lives. Last weekend marines spoke
openly and by name to Steve Fainaru of The Washington Post about the
quagmire they're witnessing firsthand and its irrelevance to battling Al
Qaeda, whose 9/11 attack motivated many of them to enlist in the first
place. "Every day you read the articles in the States where it's like, 'Oh,
it's getting better and better," said Lance Cpl. Jonathan Snyder of
Gettysburg, Pa. "But when you're here, you know it's worse every day."
Another marine, Lance Cpl. Alexander Jones of Ball Ground, Ga., told Mr.
Fainaru: "We're basically proving out that the government is wrong. We're
catching them in a lie." Asked if he was concerned that he and his buddies
might be punished for speaking out, Cpl. Brandon Autin of New Iberia, La.,
responded: "What are they going to do - send us to Iraq?"
What "they" can do is try to intimidate, harass, discredit and prosecute
news organizations that report stories like this. If history is any guide,
and the hubris of re-election is tossed into the mix, that harrowing drama
can go on for a long time before we get to the feel-good final act of "All
the President's Men."
